Product overview
Burdizzo castration forceps: jaws, size and what to specify.
A Burdizzo castrator crushes the spermatic cord from outside, through the skin, so the cord is closed without an open wound. It is used on calves, lambs and kids. The long handles give leverage, and the jaws are shaped so the crush is even across the cord.
Jaw width, handle length and overall size vary between patterns and between sizes made for large and small livestock, and the alignment of the two jaws is the main quality point. We work from your reference piece or drawing. For cutting emasculation, see the emasculator. The method should be used by trained persons and in line with local animal welfare rules.
